Very clean, conveniently located near the tube. Neighbourhood not nearly as bad as other reviews stated and staff was very friendly.

The room was very nice, modern and clean. Really liked it! The area is also very cool. Also a plus for an OK restaurant in the hotel.

Everything - from check-in to check-out - room was awesome and breakfast Devine - could throw in a coffee and orange juice in the breakfast cost though (instead of a choice)

The apartment is big and comfortable.
It has a washing machine and all the facilities in case that you're traveling in a budget so you can cook your own meals.
A TESCO supermarket is nearby.

They let us keep our bags with them safe after check out so we didn't have to carry our suitcases around London all day! X

100% Verified Reviews

Real guests. Real stays. Real opinions.

To keep the rating score and review content relevant for your upcoming trip, we archive reviews older than 24 months.

Only a customer who has booked through Booking.com and stayed at the property in question can write a review. This allows us to verify that our reviews come from real guests like you. Who better to tell others about the free breakfast, friendly staff, or their comfortable room than someone who’s stayed at the property?

We want you to share your story, with both the good and the not-so-good. All we ask is that you follow a few simple guidelines.

Reviews Vision

We believe review contributions and property responses will highlight a wide range of opinions and experiences, which is critical in helping guests make informed decisions about where to stay.

Reviews Principles

Contributions to Booking.com are a reflection of the dedication of our guests and properties, so we treat them with the utmost respect.

Whether negative or positive, we'll post every comment in full and as quickly as possible, provided the guidelines are met. We'll also provide transparency over the status of submitted content.

We'll use the same guidelines and standards for all user-generated content, and for the property responses to that content.

We'll allow the contributions to speak for themselves, and we won’t be the judge of reality. Booking.com’s role is to be a feedback distributor for both guests and properties.

Guidelines and Standards for Reviews

These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.

Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.

Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, or the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.

All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.

Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and other similar details.

The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties, and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.

눉The hotel is situated in quite a run down location but still charge a premium price. Rooms were on the small side and even though it said I booked a king suite the bed was actually only a double. The sheets were covered in hairs and fluff and also had a burn hole in. Stayed for two nights and bed sheets were not changed during our stay. The room in general was ok. Smart enough looking but with a weird layout. Sink separate from the actual toilet/bathroom.
Staff were preoccupied with phones or friends but were nice. Curtains were broken and didn't actually shut fully or match. Toilet was very loud when flushing.
Wouldn't stay again. Should be half the price they may think about staying again.

Cristi

눉Noisy (even though advertised as soundproof), ugly design, shower splashes everywhere (no cabin), super small bed, 1.83 and feet sticking out of bedcover, cold inside and cannot control temp.
Bad location, in the lobby there is a restaurant with a certain niche target with restrictions on alcohol and certain type of meat ?!?!
Certaintly not a 4 star hotel, more like 2.

눇The price was the only good aspect

눉Was charged for two full breakfasts and severed a single egg on toast which wasn't great. The fridge in the room and air conditioning made a lot of noise, even when the the air con was turned off. Staff we impolite and inflexible in the morning. I wouldn't stay here again.
